Hm. I'm not sure on this. The effect itself is pretty weak, and the reliance on other items seems a bit much. The Jester connection is amusing, but it'd be a hell of a trick for this guy to frame Jacob, considering the facts as presented in that story. Also, the fangs in the picture look really fake, which contradicts what you say in the article itself. Then again, I'm no expert on tiger teeth.

The bit with him becoming okay with killing people for the circus is amusing, though I'm not sure if I like it. Document C doesn't really add much, beyond the weird thing with the toes, which is a bit too arcane.

This. Also, I am not fond of linking to tales without good reason — linking to other SCPs makes sense, because those are meant to be documents the Foundation has, and they would absolutely refer to another document when necessary. On the other hand, unless a tale is presented as a Foundation document, it just doesn't make sense in-universe.

I would allow it if it were presented as sort of an easter egg, like it is in SCP-355, but context clearly indicates that it's supposed to link you to a non-technical, first-hand life story of this SCP. Which is nonsensical.

Didn't really think that one through. Shoulda cleared it with you first, sorry. Methinks you're just playing around, but if you're really uncomfortable with it I can change it around some more.

I intentionally phrased the diary entry to leave it ambiguous whether or not Bernard framed Jacob. Either Bernard was innocent and he just enjoyed watching David and his brother suffer, or he talked Jacob into killing Annie and used him as a scapegoat for the other murders.

Right now there are only 2 SCPs and 1 tale related to the Circus, and all of them were written by me. I'm not against the idea of more HFCotD SCPs and tales, but the amount of content seems way too small to be recognized as a GoI.

Hence why I pointed out that I'm the only one writing these as of now. It'd feel like shameless self-promotion if I tried to make it a GoI when I'm the only one working on it. This whole circus thing just started as a personal series of interconnected articles, and although I'm open to people adding to the mythos, I'm in no hurry to get on the GoI list.

Hell, I love this but I don't want it to be a GoI. An article-based canon, sure (similar to Skara's Bonifay family), but not necessarily a GoI. I would, however, love to contribute to this thing when I get the chance.

Awesome! I can't wait to see what you come up with. Someone else has told me they're planning on writing a HFCotD skip, so I added a blurb to my member page to give interested parties a general overview of how I see the Circus.

As for the GoI thing, I think of the term as more of a label than anything else. The Circus as I imagine it doesn't function like any GoI we have right now, but I wouldn't mind people calling it one as long as they don't try to impose the "rules" of other GoIs on it.
